Well boys I was MIA for a while but now that holidays are over I am back. Tough game last night but they battled together which I liked. Also I was at the Game vs Edmonton. For those of you that don't know... Weber sucks.

Linden was great at faceoffs during his time. I remember in the final year even there were games he was up around 75%.

perhaps its time for him to grab a stick and school his centers on faceoff success. Might as well put it to good use

Right now the problem I see is systems. Too much focus is on systems play and not enough on fundamentals. Malholtra would be on the ice after everyone was off be practicing face-offs.

Oilers officially last in the west once again.

I dont know whether to laugh or cry......

There is clearly a lack of a system on D....
The forward system is old, stale and useless....desperately needing a new one

Please santa, please bring us a late present for new years of a coaching staff that will bring in something new

At the Edmonton Game I heard Edler screaming a lot. F@cking guy is not a leader. Sad really.

12th row behind the net to left.

Edler is the last person that should be criticizing others defensive play....one season removed from the worst plus / minus in the entire league....

I realize you can hear him but could it not be towards the opposite teams player?

If you look at Edlers numbers give always / take always pts per 60 min , he has very good numbers including hits shots. Tanev on the other hand should be in the AHL

Yes during a change there is only 2 players he could be yelling at.

This. If you package Tanev for Hamonic you f@cking do it now.

Of the 4 times I heard Edler get pi$$ed off (in one game) 2 times it was at a forward and 2 times it was at defence. Apparently he is an equal opportunity a$$hole.

Its one thing to be an intense player its another to be a d!ck. He needs to hold himself more accountable. Dorset and Prust had a poop game and the were vocal and positive.

He is a legit # 2 D. Right now I feel we have a lot of 3/4 D trying to play #1. Great team guy. Good skater, shoots the puck on net, hockey vision to rival other top D in the league. The right situation he will thrive. Unfortunately he will be in Winnipeg soon.

I think edmonton, but either way not here! tavares needs a winger like years ago and Edmonton can afford it. But Winnipeg does have better d to send back, we shall see.
